Objective To explore the structure of health-related behavior (HRB) and its relationship with lifestyle from the perspective of system science. Methods Based on the complex system research method put forward by Qian Xue-sen, the theoretical research methods such as typical analysis, comparative analysis, essential analysis, and inductive deduction were comprehensively applied to analyze the systematic structure and dynamic structure of HRB and its relationship with lifestyle. Results Based on the systematic understanding of HRB, it is proposed that individual behavior is a "systematic three-level structure" composed of first-level behavior/specific behavior, second-level behavior/combination behavior, and three-level behavior/series behavior. Based on the dynamic understanding of HRB, it is proposed that accidental behavior, low-frequency behavior, and habitual behavior constitute the "dynamic three-level structure" of behavior development and change. Based on the systematic and dynamic structure of HRB, this paper puts forward that lifestyle is an individual or family behavior pattern in which the systematic structure and dynamic structure are relatively stable, and its health degree depends on the proportion and frequency of healthy behavior. It also puts forward the strategies to improve the health degree of lifestyle by adjusting the structure of individual behavior system and affecting its dynamic structure. Conclusion This study puts forward the relationship between HRB structure and lifestyle from the perspective of system science, which provides insights for explaining and intervening lifestyle, theoretical support for health promotion policies, and theoretical hypotheses for further study of the occurrence, development and evolution mechanism of complex behaviors.

Objective To explore the Synergistics principle and developmental dynamic mechanism of health-related behaviors. Methods By comprehensively applying the theoretical research methods such as canonical analysis and comparative analysis, taking the echinococcosis control behavior and the "Shiqu modeln in the Tibetan area of northwest Sichuan as an example, the principle of Synergistics was used to explore the dynamic mechanism of health -related behavior development. Results The development of health-related behavior accords with the principle of Synergistics, Psychological cognition, inter-personal-group environment, and crowd-social environment are the three subsystems of the behavior system, in which multiple variables/elements constantly compete to play a dominant role in behavior. Meanwhile, in the continuous coordination, a number of slow variables including cognitive attitude, motivation composition, self-efficacy; social network, group public opinion; policy support, environmental support, pilot/demonstration areas, health promotion actions) and order parameters (individual behavior belief, behavior social network-group public opinion, behavior social opinion) are formed. These slow variables / order parameters in turn dominate the development and change of behavior at the individual, interpersonal, and crowd levels. This paper puts fonvard the ideas and strategies of obtaining and analyzing slow variables and order parameters at different levels to qualitatively diagnose behavior development and implement behavior inteiTention. The scientific and rational nature of the theory are preliminarily tested through the changes in the prevention behavior of hydatid diseases such as dog tethering in the population and the formation of the "Shiqu modeF\ Conclusion This study proposes a synergetic dynamic mechanism for the development of health-related behaviors and develops a behavioral diagnosis and intervention strategy, which provides insight to explain and intervene in complex behaviors as well as theoretical support for the "Shiqu model" and the policy of taking multiple measures simultaneously to prevent and treat diseases.

Personnel training is the foundation of Healthy Chin逅 and the new era has put fonvard high-quality requirements for the training of high-level applied public health personneL This study aims to construct the path and measures of domestic high-level applied public health personnel, in order to provide reference for the talent training in China. Through literature research on public health education in China and the United States, this study summarizes the background, current situation, and connotation of the training of high-level applied public health talents in China, draws on the experience and inspirations of the United States, and raises suggestions on the development of China's training of high-level applied public health personneL China can carry out the training of high-level applied public health talents from the perspective of macro-social ecology and micro-path. For the specific micro-path, we can start with educational concept, training plan, teaching staffs training mode, and evaluation mechanism to improve the quality of public health education.

Objective To explore the chaotic dynamic mechanism of the formation and change of smoking behavior. Methods Based on the chaos theory, the chaotic characteristics of smoking-quitting behavior, the dynamic mechanism of chaotic process and chaos control strategy were analyzed by using typical analysis and comparative analysis. Results The formation and change of smoking habit accorded with the typical characteristics of chaos. The individual smoking behavior belief, which is composed of psychological cognition, behavioral motivation, and external environment/situation/occasion, is the aattractorn to induce and control the development, evolution, and disappearance of smoking behavior. The a scenario-motivationn coupling mechanism is the power source of smoking behavior, and multiple scenario-motivation, coupling mechanisms cooperate to dominate the behavior, which gradually increases the frequency of behavior and enters a chaotic state. The stability of chaotic system makes it difficult to quit the habit for a long time. Quitting smoking needs to fundamentally break the chaotic state of behavior and deconstruct multiple a scenario-motivation0 coupling mechanisms in chaotic attractors. Conclusion This study puts fonvard the chaotic dynamic mechanism of the formation and change of smoking habits, which provides a new perspective and train of thought for deeply understanding, explaining, and intervening other health-related behaviors and habits. It provides theoretical support for individual smoking cessation and smoking control policy-making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
